Heller faces combative town hall crowd

Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller distanced himself Monday from the Trump administration’s immigration and health care policies at a sometimes combative town hall meeting with hundreds of critics.
Considered one of the most vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election next year, Heller also insisted he supports Planned Parenthood’s family planning efforts despite his recent vote to allow individual states to defund the program.
“It didn’t repeal money for Planned Parenthood,” he said April 17. “I think the states should be making those kinds of decisions.”
